Overview

The Garmin 010-12832-41 is a 70A trolling motor power plug that adds a plug-in disconnect to Garmin Force and Force Kraken trolling motor installs.

It sits in the trolling motor’s main power feed so you can unplug the motor for service, removal, or storage without disturbing the boat-side wiring. On a bow mount, it gives you a clean handoff between the trolling motor leads and the boat’s DC supply where you can actually reach it.

Key features

• 70A-rated power plug for high-current trolling motor circuits
• Made for Garmin Force and Force Kraken trolling motors
• Adds an accessible disconnect point for maintenance, trailering, and off-season removal
• Used with a compatible 70A trolling motor power receptacle to create a plug-in connection at the bow
• Keeps the trolling motor power connection consolidated in one serviceable location near the mount

Installation and setup

Mount the plug and mating receptacle where the connection is easy to access but not sitting in standing water. Leave enough slack for stow and steering movement, and secure the cable so vibration does not work the terminals loose over time.

Use wire and terminals sized for the trolling motor’s current draw and confirm polarity before energizing the circuit. A properly sized fuse or breaker close to the battery remains part of a safe install even when you add a disconnect point at the bow.

Compatibility and fit

This is a power connection component intended for Garmin Force and Force Kraken trolling motors. It is not a network or control adapter, so it should be used only in the trolling motor’s main DC supply wiring.

Maintenance and care

Keep the contacts clean and dry, especially on boats that see salt spray. Periodic inspection for heat discoloration, loose hardware, or corrosion helps prevent issues at high-current connections.

Use on board

This setup is a good match for anglers and crews who remove the trolling motor between trips, service it regularly, or want a straightforward way to disconnect power at the bow without opening battery compartments.
